SUMMARY:
On January 31, 1996, the Monterey County Planning Commission approved a Use Permit, File No. PC95088 (see Exhibit F, Resolution No. 960009) to construct a mini-storage complex on five acres of land located at 201 Harrison Road, Salinas. An extension of this Use Permit
(PLN970600) was granted in 1998. Grading and building permits (GP980043S, GP980043S, BP983451S, BP980571S, and BP980572S) for the construction of the approved facility were issued and finaled.
The owner requests a permit to allow the expansion of the mini-storage facility onto an adjoining property located at 175 Harrison Road, Salinas. In order to facilitate the expansion, the owner also requests a lot line adjustment to between the two parcels (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 113-091-006-000 and 113-091-018-000). This would allow development of the subject properties as one integrated storage facility with shared parking, utilities, and ingress and egress. A General Development Plan has been proposed to address the single business operation over two properties as well as site develop standards such as setbacks and parking.
An Initial Study and Negative Declaration (ND) was prepared and adopted for the previously approved Use Permit (PC95088). Consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, this combined development permit qualifies for an addendum to the ND (see Exhibit E).
